I just finished winning tactics by Seirawan and I would like to start a new one. I would like to receive recommendations on what book I should read next, thanks.

Forgot to ask if the book is intended for beginners like me or more advanced players.

If you are interested in focusing on chess strategy, I recommend to read "Weapons of Chess" by Bruce Pandolfin before tackling "Winning Chess Strategies" by Seirawan. "Weapons..." is a basic introduction to the elements of positional chess and chess strategy and will serve as an instructive prerequisite to the Seirawan book.

other than that....you might like to check out...

Check out Russbells link as well. Good books on there. Ive recently ordered logical chess move by move by chernev and amateurs mind by silman. Thats the last books im getting for a while as I want to actually read them and not just let them gather dust,

Yes, those are good books for beginners as well...especially "The Amateurs Mind" by Jeremy Silman. I would recommend to read "Weapons of Chess" and "Winning Chess Strategies" prior to reading "The Amateur's Mind", though as you will be better prepared...

You should read the tactics book again......you won't remember a lot of the content the first time round. Don't worry, it's quite normal.

Yes, indeed that is my plan, and at the same time starting reading a second one little by little, I am not in a rush and my goal is to be like 1600 in 10 years.

@Russbell

The list is so big ! thanks.
